Like many others,I also encountered problems running PS3 Media Server under Mavericks.Prior to the software update I was able to watch movies smoothly using the last version of PS3 Media Server.Now that I use Mavericks,I notice a stuttering during video playback with all my movies(the exact same movies that played smoothly).I've got a powerful computer(Macbook Pro from 2010) and my network configuration hasn't changed.I tried to decrease the transcode buffer size but that didn't solve the problem.

I followed melcon's suggestion and now I just get an error on the PS3 when I try to play a movie that has its .srt file on the same folder, and it doesn't play…I have to remove de .srt file from the folder to have it play again.ARRRGH! Why did I upgrade to Mavericks…?

I am also having trouble with pms after upgrading to mavericks... I have deleted and performed a clean install, as well as tried to install the newest snapshot version with no luck. It will finish the install, but the software will not open. Any ideas?

I have PMS working with Mavericks but unfortunately it will not Quit from the menu nor will it Force Quit from either Activity Monitor nor ALT APPLE Esc.Also my machine will not then restart from menu only by cold boot and of course sleep is not functional.I have tried to delete and clean install but no good.

Anyone? About to throw my Macbook Pro and PS3 out the window. My sanity is already gone

Another thing you can try: PMS (and the installer as well, for that matter) is fired off from a shell script.Just open a Terminal and hop into the application's "MacOS" directory where you will find a script "pms.sh":

If all goes well, PMS opens. If it doesn't, there might be an error explaining why PMS won't open.

The script tries to determine some directories and options before launching Java with PMS. If you want to see the command line that is executed to do this, echo the command instead of executing it. Open "pms.sh" in your favourite editor and insert the word "edit" plus a space in front of the line below the "# Execute the JVM" comment. The line should look like below:

Note that PMS will not be fired up now that the command is echoed instead of executed. However, you can copy/paste the command line now, and see if the arguments make sense when you try to run the command line. If you want to be able to run the script again, remove the word "echo" again.

If you look very closely: it looks like the quote character on line 46 at the start of the line is a different quote character than the one at the end of the line! Maybe better visible in this comparison:
